Windermere Lake User Forum (WLUF)

Exemptions now being received for events that exceed the speed limit.

Four applications for exemption have been received by the National Park.

Power Boat Racing in the bay at Broad Leys, Water Skiing for the Disabled at Low Wood, Classic Boat Rally and an attempt to cross the lake on an adapted motor cross bike.  These have been consulted on and the WLUF was supportive of the proposals.  They also  made some recommendations of how the events could be administered to ensure that the events did not detract from the enjoyment of the lake by other lake users.

We have the Meet the Forum Day coming up on Sunday 5th May 11am to 1pm at Ferry Nab.

We hope to have visitors on Lake Safety, Conservation, Boat clubs and Go Lakes on Public jetty developments.  Also information on proposed developments on the Glebe and Bowness Bay and Ferry Nab.

All welcome to come along and meet the representatives on the Forum to share ideas.

The Windermere Lake User Forum (WLUF) have been made aware of the following:
